I got up at 2AM to watch it in Poulsbo, WA. Beautiful, clear but cold evening. This was truly spectacular and we once saw seven in a period of ten seconds. My wife and I watched for about 45 minutes and it never really let up from a rate of about 5 - 10 per minute (that we could see) in all areas of the sky.

Down here in So. Cal. in a very remote location from 1:30 to 3 a.m. we saw 30 to 40 per minute, one of the best showers I've seen in years.

I got up at 2AM to watch it in Poulsbo, WA. Beautiful, clear but cold!

I got up at one o'clock in the morning of the 18th and stayed up until 5:00am saw one earthgrazer traveling from east to west horizontally about half way above the horizon for about 40 degrees before it burned out.

That kept me up for the four hours I was outside waiting on the next remarkable sighting.

Outside of a few very dim and exceptionally short spurts of almost no magnitude and which if you weren't looking in that direction you would miss them.

These unremarkable sightings were occurring very high in the bowl of the sky and weren't worth the loss of 4 hours of sleep except for the one fanstastic "shot across the bow" of heaven.

Visibility was fantastic, about 45 degrees above the horizon for about 180 degrees of the circle,east to west horizontally.

The viewing locale, geographically, was about 240 surface miles east of El Paso. Texas on I-20.The event was practically a noshow.

I demand a refund!!

I envy you. Cloud cover ruined my view. In January or February of 1979 (1980?) the umbra of a total solar eclipse passed directly over my location. Cloud cover ruined my view then, too. The change from daylight to darkness back to daylight again was impressive, but not nearly as impressive as I had been hoping for.
